Hello sunshine!

"Santa baby, slip a sable under the tree for me
Been an awful good girl
Santa baby, and hurry down the chimney tonight..."

2018 is coming to an end and my Bullet Journal as well. IM proud of me that I managed to use it one whole year and today

I want to show you my whole Bullet Journal of 2018!

This is a very special post for me, because in the middle of the year I thought I will never be able to write it, because I wasn’t feeling it at all. I was so bored by drawing my bullet journal every month and I had no motivation at all. But here we are in the middle of December and I can show you the two Leuchtturm1917 I used this year!
Before we start, I want to show you my 3 most favourite pages!

year in polaroids jan -aug

Number 1: My year in polaroids
Looking back at this page makes me so happy! I know that the picture for May is missing, because I forgot to stick it in but I have one at home. Honestly, it challenged me to make a polaroid every month because I don’t use my polaroid camera that often. I rather save the pictures for special moments, but this year ended up with so many special moments that I’m glad that I have this page.
But this page will not be in my bullet journal for 2019 I think. I bought myself a photo album made for polaroids and I prefer to have them all in one place.

I am a floating dreamer, I am only going up

Number 2: Quote page
This quote is one of my favourites, because I love the watercolour painting! It was my first attempt to paint something like this without any template and I really like it. And the lettering has a funny story, because when I wrote the blogpost about this layout, I saw on the photos that there was a mistake and two or three months later I ended up finding another mistake.
I’m still not sure whether there are still mistakes I can’t see, but I love the page and that it has such a funny story for me.

days in Scotland tracker

Number 3: Day tracker

I think this is my most used page ever! When this post comes online I have been in Scotland for 111 days and I ticked a number every day. I know that I am thankful that I had the chance to be here and I’m happy about the time I had.
But during the last week and during a time, where I had so much trouble here, this tracker was my anchor. Seeing that the days pass and that not that much is left, gave me strength and hope. It makes me realize that tomorrow is a new day, a new chance and another tick on this page. Time goes on no matter what happens.

And now we’re coming to the final part! I’ve made a picture of each page in my Leuchtturm1917’s and I tried to put it all in one gif, because this post would be huge if I would show you every single picture.
If you don’t like to see it like this, I’ve filmed you a video. You can watch it here!

my bullet journal 2018

I know that most of the pages are in German, but this is how my brain works and this is the way it works most efficient for me. Nevertheless, you get an idea of my pages, my spreads and my designs.
If you want to see each month in detail, feel free to check out the bullet journal menu on top. There you can find each post I published on this blog about my bullet journal.

I hope you like this post and I really wish that I can show you a second post like this next year.
Have you used a bullet journal this year? And if so, have you stuck to it the whole year? Please tell me your thoughts in the comments below. 😊

Merry Christmas!❄

me in front of the three sisters of Glencoe

Hello sunshine!

OK let's start with the most obvious fact: I am a HUGE Harry Potter fan! *tada*
Honestly I had no idea that some parts of the Harry Potter movies were made in Scotland until I saw a flyer from an organization offering trips to the Glenfinnan Viaduct and the Alnwick Castle. But from that moment on I couldn't wait to get there and see everything!

So I booked exactly these tours and they were the best trips ever! I would recommend them a hundred times if you are such a potterhead as I am. And today I want to share my story about these trips with you and show you all the pictures I made (ok not all because I took like 10 000 - but the most beautiful ones)

Glenfinnan Viaduct

Loch Lomond

This was my first trip I ever made in Scotland and it was so good! We started at 7am on a Sunday morning in Paisley and drove in the direction of Fort Williams. I thought that I could get some sleep in the bus because I am NOT a morning person but after 45min the tour-guide told us that we arrived at our first stop. In the middle of nowhere we stopped at a cute cafe to see Loch Lomond. Unfortunately, it was raining but it was so beautiful!


As I had no idea where we had been and what to expect, I felt like I landed in Neverland. The powdery clouds and the slightly blinking sun were so magical and the perfect introduction for a Harry Potter tour!
After the necessary errands - toilet, coffee and cookies - we drove on along Loch Lomond. Even if it was raining the whole time, it was an amazing few!

Our second stop was very spontaneous. Thanks to our driver we stopped at a cute waterfall and got a unique feeling of Scotland: very windy, raining as you are in the shower and more beautiful than you can ever imagine!

The next time we went out of the bus, we were at Glencoe in front of the three sisters of Glencoe. And I know that I am repeating, but it was so beautiful!
The tour-guide hiked with us a few meters down into the valley and we took hundreds and thousands of pictures. Unfortunately, my camera was angry at me to turn it on and of in the rain and it decided to strike for the rest of the day. But if you want to see more pictures you should check out my Instagram @glitterisblack .

the black lake ~  Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire

When we finally arrived at Glenfinnan the rain had stopped and we had time to explore the lake or as a Scot would say: the Loch. It was the filming location for a part of Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire - the scene at the black lake. Imagine yourself standing in front of a lake where Harry Potter was fighting against mermen.
To be honest I just prepared the following sketch in my Bullet Journal for this trip but the tour-guide gave us all the photos of the Harry Potter scenes! Because of him I was able to make such stunning pictures.

Glenfinnan Viaduct

The actual viaduct - the rail to Hogwarts - was our last destination. The hike up the hill was exhausting but that goes without saying. You can decide on your own how high you want to hike. For me the one and only possible view was the highest I could get to get the best angle for all the photos and videos. We were waiting on the hill for at least 30min to see the train crossing the bridge as it was in the Harry Potter movie.
Stupidly it restarted raining exactly when the train was out of our field of view and we had to hike up to the top to walk down on the other side of the hill. We ended up sodden and muddy at the train station where the train started (at platform 9 3/4 for Hogwarts? :D )
On the way back home we watched Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets. It was the first time for me watching a Harry Potter movie in English and it was so funny, because I am used to the German voices!

Alnwick Castle

Starting again on another Sunday morning at 7am with a bus from Paisley, but this time in the direction of Edinburgh. Luckily we had a bit more time to wake up or nap a little bit before we stopped at the first location. After a 1.5 hours' drive we stopped in Dunbar and it was the first time I saw the North Sea from the "other side". It was so pretty!

me in front of the North Sea

It was not the classic sandy beach, more some stones with algae on it. I think it was ebb and that's why we had the chance to go that far. Our second mission in Dunbar was to get some coffee and breakfast (or second breakfast). It was more difficult than expected because on a Sunday morning at 8:30am no cafe shop is open. And there was only one supermarket which actually had not the best range but for an energy drink and some cookies it was enough.

The next destination was already Alnwick Caste and to get there we drove along the cost. It was an amazing drive and I couldn't get enough of watching the skyline. We were so lucky with the weather! All week it was cloudy and stormy but on Sunday morning we started together with the sun. It was toasty and without rain at all.

Outer bailey for Madam Hooch's Broomstick lessons

Arrived in Alnwick I felt like I came to Hogwarts. Despite the bagpipe music, it was a magical place! From the very first second I took so many photos and tried to find all the places I had seen in the Harry Potter movies before.
The castle is divided in an inner and outer bailey. And I think each Harry Potter Fan would recognize the outer bailey as the "classroom" for the broomstick lessons with Madam Hooch! It is just a walled meadow with a great view but with the movie in your mind you expect Nevile flying around or Hagrid crossing your way.

Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone

The inner bailey is more famous even if you would not suppose so. It was used for the scene with Hagrid carrying the Christmas tree in the great hall but more important it was the filming location for the scene when Harry and Ron arrived at Hogwarts in the flying car and landed in the Whomping Willow.
The crazy thing is: there is no tree! And there has never been one. It was all computer-animated but if you really know the scene you can recognize where the flying car left the castle.

broomstick lessons

Moreover, the inner bailey is used for broomstick lessons for children and for me it was the perfect chance to take a picture of my flying on a broomstick. It was so funny!
And it is the entrance to the real castle. The Duke of Northumberland is still living in there with his family and that's why the castle is closed during the winter months and you are not allowed to take pictures inside the building.

Hogwarts ~ Alnwick Castle

Even if I skipped lunch for taking some more pictures, I was so happy that I got the most out of my time there. After less than 3 hours we had to leave the castle behind us and drove back home.
What I didn't know until then was that there is a surprise-stop on each tour they make! So when we drove back home we took a "wrong" junction and ended up at the Bamburgh Castle!
For me it looked like Kings Landing from Game of Thrones, but obviously it is not - unfortunately! But it was so beautiful to see a real sandy beach and get some more sea air.

Both trips were amazing and as I said I would recommend them again and again! For me the best part was taking pictures of places I always dreamed about and enjoying every second!

If you know some other good places I really have to see, feel free to share them in the comments below. I would appreciate every suggestion!

See you next time!♥

ich vor den Three Sisters of Glencoe

Hello sunshine!
Ok, lasst mich als erstes dan offensichtlichsten Fakt klarstellen: Ich bin ein RIESEN Harry Potter Fan! ! *tada*
Ehrlich gesagt hatte ich keine Ahnung, dass einige Teile der Harry Potter Filme in Schottland gedreht wurden, bis ich einen Flyer sah mit organisierten Touren zum Glenfinnan Viadukt und dem Alnwick Castle. Aber von diesem Moment an wusste ich, dass ich nicht abwarten konnte dorthin zu fahren und es live zu sehen!
Also habe ich natürlich genau diese Touren gebucht und hatte die tollsten Trips aller Zeiten! Ich würde sie jedem Potterhead immer und immer wieder empfehlen! Und heute möchte ich meine Geschichte von diesen zwei Tagen mit euch teilen und euch ganz viele Bilder zeigen (aber bei weitem nicht alle, da ich gefühlt 10.000 Bilder gemacht habe)

Glenfinnan Viaduct

Loch Lomond

Das war die erste Tour überhaupt, die ich in Schottland gemacht habe und es war so schön! Wir sind Sonntag morgen um 7 in Paisley gestarten und in Richtung Fort William gefahren. Ich dachte, dass ich im Bus noch etwas schlafen könnte, da ich einfach kein Morgenmensch bin… falsch gedacht! Nach 45min fing der Tourguide an zu reden und meinte irgendwann dass wir unser erstes Ziel erreicht hätten. Mitten im nirgendwo hatten wir an einem kleinen süßen Café am Loch Lomond gehalten. Leider hat es geregnet, aber es war trotzdem wunderschön!
Da ich keinen Plan Davon hatte, wo wir waren und was ich zu erwarten hatte, kam ich mir vor als wäre ich in Neverland gelandet. Die pudrigen Wolken und die leicht durchblitzende Sonne machten die Szene einfach magisch und bildeten den perfekten Start für eine Harry Potter Tour!
Nach den notwndigen Tätigkeiten – Toilette, Kaffee und Kekse kaufen – sind wir weiter gefahren, immer am Loch Lomond entlang.Und auch wenn es die ganze Zeit geregnet hatte, fan dich die Aussicht einfach unglaublich!

Unser zweiter Stopp war ziemlich spontan. Dank unseres Fahrers haben wir auf halber Strecke am Straßenrand gehalten um uns einen Wasserfall anzuschauen. Für mich war das das wahre Schottland: super windig, Regen als wuüde man unter der Dusche stehen und eine schönere Landschaft als auf jedem Bild.
Als wir das nächste Mal aus dem Bus stiegen, waren wir in Glencoe vor den “3 Schwestern von Glencoe” (3 riesigen Bergen). Und ich weiß ich wiederhole mich: aber es war einfach wunderschön! Wir sind ein Paar Meter ins Tal gewandert und leider hat meine Kamera beschlossen, dass es ihr zu nass wurde und hat für den Rest des Tages gestreikt, aber falls du weitere Bilder von meinen Reisen sehen willst, schau doch gerne mal bei mir auf my Instagram @glitterisblack  vorbei!

Der schwarze See ~ Harry Potter und der Feuerkelch

Als wir endlich in Glenfinnan ankamen, hatte es tatsächlich aufgehört zu regnen und wir konnten uns als erstes den See angucken. Er war die Filmlocation für die Szene am black lake (keine Ahnung wie der auf deutsch heißt) in Harry Potter und der Feuerkelch. Kannst du dir vorstellen wie es ist vor einem See zu stehen, in dem Harry Potter gegen Meerwesen gekämpft hat?
Um ehrlich zu sein habe ich im voraus diese kleine Skizze vorbereitet um ein schönes Bild für mein Bullet Journal zu Machen, aber im Bus hat man uns dann Fotos der Filmszenen ausgeteilt, was natürlich um einiges besser war!

Glenfinnan Viadukt

Das eigentliche Viadukt – der Weg nach Hogwarts – war dann unser letzter Zielort. Man konnte selbst entscheiden, wie hoch man wander wollte, aber der Aufstieg war nicht der Rede wert im Vergleich zu dem Ausblick den man dafür bekam! Wir mussten etwa eine halbe Stunde warten bis der Zug endlich kam, aber in diesem Moment dachte man wirklich, man wäre im Film und gleich fliegt ein alter Trabbi um die Ecke.

Dummer Weise hat es genau in dem Moment wieder angefangen zu regnen, als der Zug aus unserem Blickwinkel verschand, was bedeutete wir mussten im Regen den Berg wieder runterlaufen. Irgendwer hatte die Idee, dass wir noch zu dem Bahnhof dort laufen könnte, was damit geendet hat, dass wir klatschnass durch Matsch wateten.
Auf dem Heimweg haben wir Harry Potter und die Kammer des Schreckens geguckt. Es war das erste Mal, dass ich einen der Filme auf Englisch gesehen habe und es war so lustig, weil die Stimmen natürlich ganz anders klingen als im Deutschen!

Alnwick Castle

ich vor der Nordsee

Und wieder sind wir an einem Sonntag morgen früh um 7 gestartet, aber dieses Mal in Richtung Edinburgh. Glücklicher Weise hatten wir dieses mal etwas mehr Zeit befor wir uns erstes Ziel erreichten. Ungefähr 1,5 Stunden später erreichten wir Dunbar und es war das erste Mal, dass ich die Nordsee von “der anderen Seite” sah. Es war so schön!

Es war nicht der klassische Sandstrand, sonder nur algige Steine. Ich glaube es war grade Ebbe, deshalb konnten wir so weit rein laufen. Natürlich war aber ein weiterer Grund für unseren Stopp wieder Kaffee und Kekse irgendwo zu ergattert, was sich als schwieriger herausstellte, als erwartet. Denn auch wenn hier die Geschäfte Sonntags geöffnet haben, um 8:30 ist noch fast alles geschlossen.
Das nächste Ziel war dann auch schon Alnwick Castle und um dahin zu kommen, sind wir immer entlang der Küste gefahren. Wir hatten so viel Glück mit dem Wetter! Die ganze Woche hatte es nur geregnet oder gestürmt, aber an diesem Sonntag war strahlender Sonnenschein. Es war angehnehm warm und keine einzige Regenwolke in sicht.

Außenhof für Madam Hoochs Flugstunden

Als wir in Alnwick ankamen, fühlte ich mich als wäre ich in Hogwarts gelandet. Bis auf die Dudelsack-Musik, war es ein wirklich magischer Ort! Von der ersten Sekunde an habe ich so viele Fotos gemacht, wie ich nur konnte und versucht jede Ecke zu finden, die ich im Film schon einmal gesehen hatte.
Die Burg selbst ist in einen innen und außen Hof unterteilt. Ich glaube jeder Harry Potter Fan hätte den Außenhof sofort als “Klassenzimmer” für Madam Hooch’s Flugstunden erkannt! Es ist zwar eigentlich nur eine ummauerte Wiese mit einem recht hübschen Ausblick, aber irgendwie erwartet man, dass Nevile jeder Zeit über die Mauern geflogen kommt oder Hagrid durch das Tor tritt.

Harry Potter und der Stein der Weisen

Der innere Hof ist noch berühmter, obwohl man es auf den ersten Blick nicht vermuten würde. Zum einen wurde er für die Szene genutzt in der Hagrid den Weihnachtsbaum ins Schloss trägt, aber zum anderen war es auch die Location für Harry und Ron, wie sie mit dem fliegenden Auto in der peitschenden Weide landeten.
Das witzige ist: es gibt dort keinen einzigen Baum! Und es war auch niemals einer da. Sämtliche Äste wurden Computer animiert, aber wenn man genau hinguckt, erkennt man das Tor durch das das Auto verschwand.

Besen Unterricht

Außerdem wir der Innenhof aktuell für Besen-Flugstunden für Kinder genutzt, was für mich die perfekte Chance war selbst ein Bild zu Machen, wie ich auf einem Besen fliege. Es hat so viel Spaß gemacht!
Und natürlich ist es der Eingang zur eigentlichen Burg. Der Duke of Northumberland wohnt noch immer über die Wintermonate mit seiner Familie dort, weswegen es in dieser Zeit geschlossen ist und man dort drin auch keine Fotos machen darf.

Hogwarts ~ Alnwick Castle

Auch wenn ich mein Mittagessen ausfallen lassen habe, um Fotos zu machen, war ich so glücklich dass ich die Zeit die wir dort hatten wirklich so gut nutzen konnte! Wir mussten nämlich schon nach weniger als 3 Stunden wieder los um nach Hause zu fahren.
Was ich nicht wusste war, das suns wieder ein Überraschungsstopp auf dem Rückweg erwartete.Bamburgh Castle!
Und ganz ehrlich: nach so einem Tag sah diese Burg für mich mehr nach Königsmund aus Game of Thrones aus, al seine normale Burg. Was es natürlich leider nicht war, aber das Meer und der Strand dahinter waren so unfassbar schön, dass ich es trotzdem so in Erinnerung behalten werde.

Beide Touren waren einfach unglaublich und wie ich schon sagte: ich würde sie immer und immer wieder empfehlen! Für mich war der beste Teil daran Fotos von all den Orten machen zu können, die ich mir nichtmal ertraumen hätte können!
Falls du noch andere Orte kennst, die ich unbedingt noch sehen muss, lass es mich gerne in den Kommentaren wissen. Ich würde mich sehr freuen!
Bis zum nächsten Mal!♥

Hello sunshines!

As you may know I am currently studying abroad and luckily my family want to visit me! It is our plan to travel through most of Scotland within the 7 days they are here and I want to tell you how I planned the whole trip, what we did and where we stayed. So this will be a little report of my time with my family.

Before we started travelling we had to plan where we wanted to go and what we wanted to do. It was my idea to travel during that time and not to stay at one place, that's why I decided to plan the whole week and make a kind of relaxing holiday for my family - at least I tried!
It was my boyfriends wish to go to Loch Ness and my wish to see the Harry Potter bridge near Fort Williams (unawared me not knowing that I would be there before). And so our route shaped more and more and we ended up with 5 places we really wanted to see:
Glasgow - Edinburgh - Loch Ness - Glenfinnan Viaduct - Isle of Skye

But... because we only had one week in October we thought that it would be to much and to unpredictable to drive to the Isle of Skye and so we withdrew it from our list. We will come back to got there next year! Moreover I decided that I don't want to go to the Glenfinnan Viaduct again because it would take to much time to drive there and I have already seen it.

My Bullet Journal spread to plan our trip.

I'm so sorry that the page is in German but I painted it for my family and my dads' English is not that good. It says "Our Journey Through Scotland” and shows all the cities where we have our accommodations. Additionally I wrote some sights we could visit or recommended restaurants. And this is our plan!

MONDAY

The plane arrived in Glasgow around 3pm and I picked up my family there to go and get our car. We rent a skoda superb from sixt and my dad was our driver for this week! Wish us good luck driving on the left side for the first time! :D
Our first stop was my accommodation and then Glasgow. We had a hotel for one night and it was very good. The perfect start for an adventurous week.

TUESDAY

With a tasty breakfast in our tummies we walked to the Glasgow Cathedral and the cemetery to get an overview of the city. Unfortunately it was raining the whole time but we had so much fun walking through the rain.
We checked out of the Hotel before our walk so we had no time pressure. We just had to be in Edinburgh after 3pm, because there we had our next Airbnb. So we had time to walk along Queen Street and find some cute shops you don't have in Germany.
After a quick lunch we drove to Edinburgh. It was an easy drive because you just follow one street and then you're there. We had a beautiful flat in the city center and our view was amazing! Because it was only just 4pm we decided to explore Edinburgh and walked to the Castle. On our way we found some Whisky stores where my dad & my boyfriend could find some real Scottish Whisky.

Glasgow Cathedral

Edinburgh Castle

WEDNESDAY

Wednesday morning we startet early and drove to a car park near Arthur's Seat - in front of our flat were enough parking spaces but you have to pay for them and every Morrisons/ Sainsburys/ Tesco offers free parking. The mission was: hiking up to the top of Arthur's Seat!
You have to know that my family is not the "hiking-holidays" kind of family. We are more the "sitting on the pool and chill" type of people... So this hike was a real challenge for us but we wanted to walk all the way because of the amazing view and the beautiful landscape. And it was worth it!
We were so lucky with the weather. It was warm and sunny. It took us about 3 or 4 hours to walk up and down and in the end we were so exhausted but it was the most beautiful day I ever had!
First stepping out of comfort zones and surpass oneself is an amazing feeling. And second: spending the time with my family and not thinking of anything (Uni/ Gym/ Food/ Social Media...) was the best feeling ever.
I will remember this day as the most beautiful day of the year 2018!

Arthur's Seat Edinburgh

THURSDAY

On this day we started the real road trip through Scotland. We left our flat at 10am and drove to Perth. It is not a famous city and doesn't have that much to offer but a cute little coffee shop called the Bean Shop. My boyfriend loves coffee and I saw on Pinterest that they sell really good coffee.
Our next destination was Dundee where we just stopped to buy something to drink and go to the toilets. After this it was the plan to drive along the coast to Stonehaven but what I did not know was that even if you take the closest road to the sea, you still can't see anything. I was a bit disappointed because we saw nothing from the landscape and a bit angry about myself that I chose this road. But we found something to eat (Fish & Chips for the first time!) and drove on to Dunnotar Castle.
The castle was so beautiful. We didn't went into it because of the price but even the look at it and the coast next to it were amazing!
It was good to walk through the sea air and stretch the body after a day of driving because it was already 4pm and we were still not even near to our next airbnb, which was in Inverness.
Because of the time we decided to drive directly there and go without Aberdeen. And it was totally fine!
The last part of the drive was through the Highlands. And I mean THE HIGHLANDS! Driving up to 2000ft (ca. 600m) and down to 300ft was slightly dizzying but the landscape was more then stunning beautiful! This was the landscape I expected to see.  

Dunnotar Castle

FRIDAY

After the long drive on Thursday we wanted to reduce the time we spend in the car. Our main destination was Oban where we had our last Airbnb for this week and we drove "directly" there. That means we drove alone Loch Ness and stopped at some beautiful observation points. We had lunch in a cute restaurant in Fort William and saw the other coast of Scotland. We arrived in Oban at 4pm and my family visited a distillery and a few Whisky shops to buy some alcohol as a souvenir.
Unfortunately our for-last and last Airbnb were not that beautiful and it felt a bit disgusting, but I could live with that for one night.
As always we spend our evenings with playing cards and watching Netflix. If was so cozy and I felt like I was at home even if we were far away from home.

Loch Ness

SATURDAY

Now we had seen most of the country and only Loch Lomond was still on my list, which was perfect for the way back to Paisley. It was raining the whole day but this so typical Scotland that it was the best weather for this drive.
Back in Paisley we ate lunch at my favorite Pizzeria and then it was time for shopping in Glasgow!

Loch Lomond

SUNDAY

Honestly, for me the weekend was difficult. Knowing that you will be alone again in a few hours is so hard, because you know that you will miss them and you can't do anything against it. I know that in the time of Skype and Whatsapp you're never that far away from someone... but it's not the same!
During this week I was as happy as I have never been before in Scotland and it feels so sad to let them go...

All in all it was the best week I ever had since I am here! The landscape was amazing and all these impressions were stunning beautiful! We drove more then 500miles (800km) and it feels like we have seen most of the country!

If you have some advice where I still have to go or what I should see, feel free to tell them in the comments below!

See you next time!♥

Hello Sunshines!

Today is the first time I can show you my Bullet Journal. As it is the first of October, I drew my setup for the upcoming month.
If you do not know what a Bullet Journal is: Here you can find the official website. To say it in easy words it is a self-made calendar. You can draw every page however you want and take the space you would like to have for every to-do list or whatever you want to create.
Because this is my first post here, you might have no idea what this will look like, so if you want check out my previous Bullet Journal Setups on my German Blog.

So this month I my Bullet Journal topic is: Harry Potter

Monthly Bullet Journal spread with a Hogwarts drawing

Unfortunately I have not more than 9 pages left in my Leuchtturm1917 (it's my notebook) and this is why I decided to cut down my cover page and my monthly overview on one page. On the left side I drew Hogwarts because for me it is one of the most memorable things of Harry Potter.
On the right side I wrote the dates and the weekdays in the middle. With the little drop shadow behind the box, the dates stand out more and I like the look of it.
I already wrote some of my most important dates in the monthly overview, because I needed to see what's going on this month. This time it is devided in "School" and "Travel". All my appointments can be classified in these categories. Most important are my tasks for uni and I don't want to miss any of this!

Bullet Journal weekly spread with a Hogwarts sketch

During the last month I noticed that I need a whole page for one week! So I splitted up the week, that I have enough space for each day. Most of the time I don't use the whole page, but it is nice to have the opportunitie to write in as much as you want.

And let me tell you a little fun fact about me: I am a Hufflepuff! Thanks to a friend I made one of these tests where you can find out which Hogwarts house would be perfect for you and that's the result. If you are not that much into Harry Potter and you never heard about Hufflepuff - THEY ARE THE COOLEST! Just kidding!
Hufflepuff is known for hard work, patience, loyalty, and fair play. Maybe you will come across the name Newt Scamander during the upcoming months. He is a famouse Hufflepuff alumni and the main character of the movie phatastic beasts and the second part will start in november. Guess who is goint to be the first one in the cinema? ME!!!

Bullet Journal weekly spread with a drawing of a dementor and the spell "Expecto Patronum"

I don't know whether it is that intellegent to use a whole page for this week, because I will be on the road the whole week and I have no ideo on how I will check my Bullet Journal during this time. But honestly I totaly forgot my originally plan of drawing this page while painting. And there is another mistake on this page: the little monthly overview in the corner. When I write this overviews I draw the colored line first so that it would not smudge, but when I drew the first line I thought I'm in week 1 and not week 2. Thats why every week one more line is colored and I think it is not that bad. It gives you an idea on how far the month has gone.

Bullet Journal weekly spread with a sketch of the flying car and the quote "Hogwarts will always be there to welcome you home"

With this drawing I am connecting lot's of memories to my daytrip to the Glenfinnan Viaduct - the bridge where the szene was produced. Even if it was raining and not the best conditions, I loved it and I wish I had the time to draw it, but I made good for that with the pictures I took.
And you can't make a Harry-Potter-Bullet-Journal_theme without a quote from J.K. Rowling! This one inspired me to rewatch all Harry Potter movies again :D

Bullet Journal weekly spread with a sketch of the knight bus

To be honest this was the first week I drew this month, because I like the idea of creating a page with a little bit of freedom. Not every word need to be in line and not every letter needs to be the same size. I always think about the szene of the bus whenever I see a double deck coach or an old lady crossing the street very slow.
I will try to finish reading Harry Potter and the Philosophers Stone as fast as I can, becaus I fell in love with the idea of living in the country of Hogworts, Magic and Dragons.
One of the first places I visited was the elephant hous - the place where J.K. Rowling wrote most of her books. How cool is it to read a book where the author had the inspirations for everything? If I would be brave enough I think I would read the book on the famouse cemetery in Edinburgh where you can find some of the most magical names - but it is to creepy for me!

Because my Leuchtturm1917 is running out of pages November and December will be in another Leuchtturm1917. I hope that you like this month's setup and got inspired.
Feel free to tell me your thoughts in the comments!

See you next time!♥
